Happy People: A Year in the Taiga

00:01:05 This is the village of Bakhtia In Siberia.

00:03:40 This one has short hair because a Moscow dog breed is mixed in.

00:06:14 In the olden days, a villager wouldn't have much by way of tools-

00:08:40 You agree?

00:11:38 the snow becomes wet and river water seeps through the fee.

00:14:36 the mosquitoes aren't out yet-

00:17:11 and catch and share crabs or scorpions.

00:19:45 Then Stalin spoke on the radio.

00:25:12 This is a sable In short summer fur.

00:57:38 Inside the hut everything also hangs from the ceiling- grits, sugar-

01:01:52 And of course, it depends on how you bring it up.

01:14:17 is that a sable that is hungry will ignore the steel trap...

01:17:26 and allow it to sleep with him on the bunk.
